Perfect

Just remember jet boats are an unfair advantage according to BASS

Aren't A-rigs still off limits in professional BASS tournaments?

Isnt this a Roland Martin rule. He borrowed a jet boat to reach areas that the others couldnt. So now the rule is, you have to use the same boat all year. Theres a good chance I am mistaken.

I am not sure if it was him. However you just can’t use a jet or tunnel hull at all. Even if it’s the same boat all season. I think on the MLF side ott Defoe followed the rules and ran a tunnel with a prop. The next year they said he couldn’t do it though.

Yes indeed. Think everyone got mad Ott was using a jet and winning on the upper end of Douglas . Then he ran a tunnel and prop and they didn’t like that either 😂

Did Keith Poche run a jet/tunnel? He was the guy fishing both tours that was constantly pushing the boundaries trying to get into skinny water.

No he runs a gator trax but got into trouble for jumping dry land

Well, not exactly. He got in trouble for jumping (sliding, actually) over an earthen dam to reach an area that was deemed out of bounds. It was not going over the dam that was the problem, it was the fishing out of bounds. His defense was that since the area he went to was connected by a drainage ditch or two to the main area, he should have been allowed to fish it. The tournament director pointed out that all he had to do was call for a clarification and he would have known that he was not allowed to fish the area. Case closed. I admire his tenacity and creativity for getting to areas others don't or can't fish, but he could have saved himself a lot of problems on that one if he had called the director. He even later admitted that he used poor judgement on that one, but at the time he thought it would be easier to get "forgiven" than to try to get permission. Live and learn I guess.

Yup. Connecticut River in the '90s. I watched it on YouTube a few months ago. BIG crowds.

2018 was when they banned tunnel hulls. I think jets were already banned. This was for the elites.

Honestly having a jet would be a big handicap in most places. You’d be sacrificing a lot to have a gamble in having a couple good events. These rules just boggle my mind.

I believe this is where the manufacturers step in and stomp their feet. They want to sell 100k plus boats not 50k boats. Make this rule.

Jump, slide, tomato, tomahto
